Re: Beier SM-IR-16-2 Trailer board
In case you don't get a reply from someone with specific knowledge about these parts, I can do some guesses. Note that I am making a lot of assumptions here.

Re: Is there a linear DC ESC out there?
Very nice work on the crane. I don't know any linear ESCs, but I would test using an ESC with a different PWM output frequency. A higher frequency might better emulate a linear voltage.
Have you...

Re: Remote LED switching with Arduino examples.
Sorry, I didn't see your last post until today.

The light mast and ladder both ended up a bit too wide, so I've very carefully cut out some support pieces to shrink the light mounts. I'm very happy with how the paint finish ended up on these.
